Syska Hennessy’s Keith Fitzpatrick Earns National Design-Build Certification

Keith Fitzpatrick, PE, CEM, LEED AP, a senior principal, has earned national certification as a Designated Design-Build Professional® from the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA).

DBIA Certification is the nation’s only measurable standard of an individual’s knowledge of the Design-Build Done Right® principles vital to successful project delivery. By completing these requirements, which touch on all aspects of design-build, candidates earn the right to display “DBIA” after their names, identifying them as experienced design-build professionals.

“Some of the most existing project opportunities for my career are with design build partners” says Fitzpatrick. “As the industry pivots to design-build in response to our clients, its important that team members are educated in that project delivery to best stream line partnerships and support project success.”

Lisa Washington, DBIA executive director and CEO, reports that many public and private owner solicitations now expressly encourage the inclusion of team members with DBIA® certification in their expanding number of design-build projects.

“I and several of my colleagues have now earned DBIA designations,” Fitzpatrick notes. “We are eager to put them to use.”
